Description	The West Side News, edited by Wilbur Wright and published by Orville Wright, was a weekly local paper published for the residents of the West Side of Dayton, Ohio. This July 3, 1889 edition included an obituary for their mother, Susan Koerner Wright. It measures 11.02" x 15.75" (28 cm x 40 cm). The first edition of The West Side News debuted on March 1, 1889 and was distributed free of charge. As business increased, the Wright Brothers raised the subscription rates to fifty cents per year and then ten cents for six weeks. They changed the name of the paper to the Evening Item in 1890 and began delivering it daily. The paper reported both local and national events, but lasted only four months because of competition with the twelve other Dayton papers that existed at the time. Wilbur and Orville Wright expanded their printing business in the 1890s before shifting their energies to bicycle repair and manufacture. They became interested in flying, and experimented with new techniques. On December 17, 1903 they became the first to fly a heavier-than-air craft. The newspaper is part of Wright State University's Wright Brothers Collection of approximately 6,000 items, including over 200 technical books, journals, and pamphlets accumulated by the Wright Brothers, over 500 items related to their research, business, and legal endeavors, more than 1,000 genealogical items gathered by Bishop Milton Wright and Orville Wright, nearly 3,600 photographs, and over 700 items representing awards and other memorabilia. A finding aid is available online.
